AlbakiReads Editorial

A postwar hunt shaped by wartime lives

Set across the Second World War and its aftermath, the novel connects Nina Markova’s service with the Soviet Union’s all-female Night Witches to British correspondent Ian Graham’s pursuit of a Nazi war criminal hiding in America. Their search draws on Nina’s experience as the Huntress’s sole known surviving witness, while a separate thread follows seventeen-year-old Jordan McBride in postwar Boston as she pursues photography. These intersecting lives bring together aerial combat, Nazi hunting, wartime memory, and the effort to confront what the war left behind. The publisher description ends mid-sentence during Jordan’s storyline, so details of that thread are limited.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in historical fiction set during and after the Second World War.
  • Readers drawn to stories involving women in wartime roles and the pursuit of Nazi war criminals.
  • Readers who enjoy novels with multiple connected character storylines.

From the author of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling novel, THE ALICE NETWORK, comes another fascinating work of WWII historical fiction about a battle-haunted English journalist and a Russian female bomber pilot who join forces to track the Huntress, a Nazi war criminal gone to ground in America.

In the aftermath of war, the hunter becomes the hunted...

Bold and fearless, Nina Markova always dreamed of flying. When the Nazis attack the Soviet Union, she risks everything to join the legendary Night Witches, an all-female night bomber regiment wreaking havoc on the invading Germans. When she is stranded behind enemy lines, Nina becomes the prey of a lethal Nazi murderess known as the Huntress, and only Nina's bravery and cunning will keep her alive.

Transformed by the horrors he witnessed from Omaha Beach to the Nuremberg Trials, British war correspondent Ian Graham has become a dedicated Nazi hunter. Yet one target eludes him: a vicious predator known as the Huntress. To find her, the fierce, disciplined investigator joins forces with the only witness to escape the Huntress alive: the brazen, cocksure Nina. But a shared secret could derail their mission unless Ian and Nina force themselves to confront it.

Growing up in post-war Boston, seventeen-year-old Jordan McBride is determined to become a photographer. When her long-widowed father unexpectedly comes homes with a new fianc
